devices from Sony that support 5-pole audio and a 3.5 mm audio jack, such as the
Xperia™ Z2 or Xperia™ Z3. Use the STM10 to record high-quality stereo sound for
music tracks, interviews or videos.

Using your microphone
Recording sound
To use the microphone and make recordings, you must first install the Audio
Recorder application, which is available on Google Play™. Once this application is
installed, your recordings get saved as WAV or MP4 files depending on the sound
quality option you select. The files are saved in the Recordings folder on the internal
storage of your Xperia device.
For some Xperia devices, you must activate the microphone via the sound settings
the first time you connect the STM10 microphone. The Xperia device then
automatically uses the STM10 microphone as the default microphone for sound
recording whenever it's connected. However, if you use more than one five-pole
audio accessory with your device, you may need to activate the STM10 microphone
every time you connect it.
Strong wind conditions may cause your STM10 to shut down during recording. If this
happens, the built-in microphone on the Xperia device becomes active and the
recording continues. For best results when recording outdoors, use the wind sock
that is included at purchase.
